JULY 2006 A MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI OF THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FROM THE DEAN Charting a future course Dear Friends, Transition and change provide the opportunity to celebrate past achievements and to chart a course for future accomplishments. Our heartiest congratulations and hopes for great success go forth with Jim Undercofler as he assumes his new responsibilities as the President and CEO of the Philadelphia Orchestra. As you will read in the pages ahead, Jim’s tenure as Director and Dean of Eastman has been marked by innovative accomplishments, which have strengthened the School’s commitment to leadership. As we look to the future, and to the coming academic year in particular, there exist three important initiatives that will have historic implications NOTES for the Eastman School of Music. The first is the search for our next Dean. Volume 24, Number 2 President Seligman has appointed a search committee, which will be chaired by July 2006 University Vice-President and General Secretary Paul Burgett.

Since arriving at Eastman one year ago as the Academic Dean, and now having the honor and privilege to serve as the Interim Dean, my respect and admiration for our great school has been rein- forced and underscored on a daily basis.

Response has been unani- mously favorable; perhaps we should consider a Steve Boerner–David Cowles NOTES presidential ticket for 2008. I’d vote for them; these two artists made “Notes Volume 22, Number 2 nouveau” a pleasure, and I’m glad the pleasure was conveyed in the magazine June 2004 itself. I write the stuff, but they (and our photographers) make it look good! We also had a tremendous response to our “Eastman Alumni on CD” feature; Editor see pages 33¬34. And enough of you commented on different editorial aspects of David Raymond Notes (not always favorably) that we have a “Letters to the Editor” section, which Assistant editor may be a first for us.

As is the story of the success of Howard Kurt Brownell Hanson’s Merry Mount at the Met in 1934—a remarkable Gelfand-Piper Photography event, when you think about it. I should add a special Bob Klein Photography word of thanks here to David Peter Coppen, the Sibley Carlos Ortiz Don Ver Ploeg/VP Communications Library Archivist, who is always helpful with providing Amy Vetter historical photographs and other materials for Notes, but Photography coordinator outdid himself for these three articles.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

The primary research contribution of this study was to stylistically analyze, compare and contrast eight pieces composed by Lane during his career, with a focus on discovering the extent to which Lane developed his stylistic features as an adaptable and eclectic composer. Four of these works were completed early in his career during his two-year residency (1959-1961) in Rochester, New York and Lexington, Kentucky as a member of the Young Composers Project (YCP), while the other four works were completed during the last decade of his life (1994-2004). Choral, chamber ensemble, string orchestra and wind band works were selected to represent a broad overview of Lane’s repertoire for each of these four genres, across educational, community, and professional levels.
